The Junction – Spiritual home of bristol punk – will be closing soon. We are playing a benifit for our good freind Bob there this Friday to give him a proper send off!
If you can please come down and show your support for Bob and all the hard work he’s put into The Junction ove the years. He’s been a star and given lot’s of bands punk and otherwise a great place to play in Bristol for a long time.
We are going to miss The Junction! You can read Bob’s take on the situation
’Allan Smithee" presents A Local Show for Local People starring three bands who by rights should have made it onto the last ever TPT show but were cruelly overlooked!
KENISIA – That’s us then :)
7 CROWNS – Debauched Bath based Hardcore punks making a righteous racket, fusing the nihilistic venom of Poison Idea with the balls -out power riffing of Motorhead.
THE EDSEL FURYS – Members of Kenisa, The Setbacks, Mosaic Dogs and Wild Planets playing a selection of their favourite Garage punk and Surf covers from the 60’s.
It’s all for a good cause and you get to see Jim Kenisia trying to do two sets without kanckering his vocal chords. What’s not to like?
Doors 8.30pm, £4 in!
Our good friend Bob at the Junction, unbeknownst to us, recorded a few of our songs at the Trailer Park Trash Xmas Bash in December. He has posted them on Youtube for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
Dress like a Pimp | I’ve just fallen over | 12 Days of Kenisiamas
Thats right were back and gigging this summer. Check out our shows page for details.
Please come along and say hi, we’ve missed you.
Ex-Kenisia singer Alan Cains will be back on lead vocals for our show on May 13th with the Voodoo Glow Skulls. James is unable to attend so Alan has agreed to step in for this one off special.
We’ve known about this for a few weeks and been working on the set, expect a few old classics and Alans own take on our newer material.
You can now buy Kenisia tracks from the iTunes store.
Our “Nothing To Say” album can now be purchased online with “Prototype” to follow shortly.
Yay!
For the first time in my life in Kenisia, I didn’t feel like the oldest person at the gig! Yes, kids, it was the B.O.B. (Bath, Oakland, Bremen) Festival. This gig was held at the Porter Butt in Bath.
First up were Don’t. A female fronted punk band who had a nice loud set. The back bar was full as was the front bar. Part of the difficulty was dragging the old punks to the back bar to hear the bands but it all worked out somehow. Then panic set in. Word got round that the Setbacks drummer, Chris had a migrane and wouldn’t be able to play. The other lads must have given him a good pep talk because a few minutes before we were going to take their slot, they announced they were going to play! Yay! It gave me a few extra minutes to write a set list! I love the Setbacks and it had been a while since I had seen them play. They did a smashing job and played two of my favourite songs: You, and I Don’t Know. Great set.
Kenisia took the stage next and played a good 40 minutes of punk ska soul noise mayhem to a packed house of old and young punks. Thanks to the lads who came to see us at the Ski Lodge in Yeovil and invited me to a skank on the floor in front of the stage. A wicked time was had by all. As I write this, Phil is preparing to put up one of the German bands tonight at his humble abode after they tear up the stage in town. Eep! Two people were sadly missed at the show that night – Lynz and Vince. They are huge supporters of the punk rock and music scene in general and we know they wanted to be there. We will see them both on Thursday at the Junction in Bristol (12 April) when we will be reunited with Catch It Kebabs. Yay again!
Lastly, Citizen Fish took to the stage and had everyone on their feet. They played a crazy set and seemed to have as good a time as the rest of us were. Mint.
